@Mojeek @Tutanota @tilvids @brave @odysee everyone should use your products, they are free, open source mostly (brave why do u use chromium, use gecko and make everything better for first browser choices) and if someone doesn't have any relations with big tech (no Google Microsoft apple or Amazon) then get them a Linux computer get them a grapheneos pixel, and get them to use y'all instead of big tech like don't use YouTube and they will use mastodon odysee and tilvids instead #FOSS tchüss


What a refreshing story! I imagine many of us here owe a great deal to @libreoffice a software suite that has freed us from the grip of the document monopoly, thus broken our dependency on the fate of a single company.
If you're curious about how LibreOffice became what it is today, I highly recommend watching this in your spare time: youtu.be/9M468Krlawo

@RaccoonForFriendica a new version 0.2.0 has been released.

Changelog:
🦝 feat: add support for MastodonRedirect;
🦝 feat: export/import app settings to/from JSON;
🦝 feat: export contact list from profile;
🦝 feat: allow changing markup mode in post creation;
🦝 fix: retain scrolling state after navigation;
🦝 fix: newlines after titles in Markdown preview;
🦝 fix: avoid self mention when replying;
🦝 fix: retrieve source to edit post;
🦝 enhancement: populate current app icon value in settings;
🦝 chore: update manual and project documentation;
🦝 chore: typo in Fastlane metadata.

For those who have lost it, there has been a 0.1.1 in the meantime, which was mainly due to a metadata issue which blocked the submission on F-Droid, but it also included:
🦝 feat: add support for alternate (classic) and monochrome app icon;
🦝 fix: rendering images of different heights in carousels;
🦝 fix: rendering GIFs (or images with unbound constraints).

After the app gets published on the stores, we're going to move towards a more predictable release cycle (e.g. monthly stable versions and weekly betas).

Hope you are having fun on Friendica (or Mastodon) and as always #livefasteattrash

I've reached the end of my first full week of using a terminal-only interface for my personal computing in 2024.

It has been quite a week.

I've had to pick up git, which is a whole new learning curve for me, and my knowledge of tmux has increased rapidly too.

But, in terms of getting done what I actually wanted to do? It has been absolutely fine... right up until the point when it was not, and then I struggled.

I'm writing notes as I go, for a future blogpost.

Estoy investigando el impacto del Software Libre en la economía y soberanía tecnológica en la América hispanohablante*. ¿Hay estadísticas, eventos, leyes, opiniones o proyectos que debería saber?

Ya he investigado FLISoL y las leyes que hicieron obligatorio el SL del sector público.

It’s been just over a week and we’ve gotten lots of great feedback so far.

If you’re an app developer and haven’t had a chance to chime in, check out @cassidy’s summary of the current points, and leave a comment on the forum if you have anything important that hasn’t been mentioned:

discourse.flathub.org/t/app-de…

We look forward to continued feedback, and are excited to get more apps featured on Flathub!

Linux app developers, we want your feedback!

If you have an app on Flathub (or are planning to), please share your thoughts on the optional quality guidelines—especially if your app doesn't currently meet the guidelines.

New update released today! #LibreOffice 24.8.3 is now available, with bugfixes and compatibility improvements. All users are recommended to upgrade: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource #freesoftware #news


More improvements coming to #LibreOffice thanks to students in the Google Summer of Code! For instance, in Calc's Function Wizard, the functions are now nicely grouped together – rather than being in one big list: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource


Hey @Tutanota , just filled your questionnaire. At the end I'm being asked to rate your app on GooglePlay. I give it 10 stars, but I won't install Google on my degoogled phone just to rate your app. I like it also because it's #FOSS and available on #fdroid


Wooooow… It’s been so long. Still love you, @thunderbird!

I use an RSS feed for news, and I’m sure I’m not the only one here on the Fediverse who appreciates the convenience it offers, because it helps me stay informed in a way that suits my preferences.

How do you keep up with the important topics that matter to you?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I started regularly donating about a year ago. I am now supporting 8 different projects with 20,77€ per month, and it didn't hurt at all.

Why pay for something free? Because free software only exists because other people already paid for it. Someone has to do it. It's time to do your part!

If you can afford a subscription service, then you probably can afford a little donation, too. Start with 0.1% of your income.

I recently learnt that @Codeberg has its own badge generator to let you make custom "Get it on Codeberg" badges! :codeberg:

get-it-on.codeberg.org/

Thanks to it being under an open licence, I was able to remix it for the #BananaHackers store for #KaiOS, which has so far been lacking a badge 🍌

That link is very temporary, so if it goes down here's the source repo :git:
